Sammanfattning

This project demonstrates how the xr package can be used on Overleaf to resolve labels in other .tex files that have not been \include-d in the main file.

Make sure you enable the correct system call in latexmkrc, depending on the LaTeX engine you're using!

  \@addtofilelist{#1}% if you want it to appear in \listfiles, not really necessary and latexmk doesn't use this
  \IfFileExists{#1}{}{\typeout{No file #1.}}% latexmk will find this message if #1 doesn't exist (yet)
